  • the cooling loss is a loss to be caused by cooling gas during combustion in an expansion stroke, specifically, by allowing combustion heat to be dissipated through a wall surface of the combustion chamber.
  • the cooling loss can be reduced by increasing heat insulation performance of the wall surface of the combustion chamber.
  • the wall surface of the combustion chamber have high heat-insulation performance, and in addition, a temperature of the wall surface follow change of temperature of the gas in the combustion chamber to reduce a temperature difference between the wall surface of the combustion chamber and the gas in the combustion chamber.
  • a heat shielding membrane having low thermal conductivity and low heat capacity has been desired.
  • Patent Literature 1 discloses that a heat shielding membrane made of a porous metal oxide promotes reduction in thermal conductivity and heat capacity.
  • Patent Documents 2 to 4 disclose further examples of porous heat shielding films for combustion chamber surfaces.
  • the heat shielding membrane disclosed in Patent Literature 1 is porous, a heat capacity can be reduced by an amount corresponding to a volume of pores of the heat shielding membrane.
  • the pores are communication pores opening to the combustion chamber. Thus, combustion gas enters the pores, and the pores serve as paths for releasing combustion heat to the outside. As a result, sufficient heat-insulation performance is not exhibited.
  • the present invention has been made in view of such problems with the conventional art, and an object thereof is to provide a heat shielding member including a heat shielding membrane that has both of low thermal conductivity and low heat capacity and improves the fuel economy performance.
  • the inventors of the present invention have completed the present invention by finding, through intensive studies to achieve the above-mentioned object, that a heat shielding membrane is allowed to prevent from accumulating heat and to exhibit heat insulation performance by forming a membrane having low thermal conductivity with a material having high thermal conductivity, thereby reducing cooling loss.
